i have the full turbo kit for my eg with a d16 and i was gonna put it in this wekend and only run like 4-5pounds of boost because it is all stock internals but a lot of my friends are saying that even at 4-5 pounds i will probably blow the motor so i dont know what i want to do now i was just wondering what you guys think and if you have done this before and if any1 with a boosted single cam has blown the motor at 4-5 psi and how long it took. thanks

my buddy has been boosting his d16y8 on 11lbs for over 2 years now. It's all in the tuning. Get it done right and your motor will treat you right. Get it done wrong and BOOM.

psi without turbo size, doesn't mean anything more than farting in the wind

i downed a cyl on 5 psi on my d15b2

would it kill you to use a period? seriously, that must be the longest sentence ever written.

post details of your setup before you continue.

What turbo? And what will your setup be like? I ran 8 psi with my greddy kit on a stock bottom end. On a fmu.

it is a stock rx-7 turbo externally wasted gated. ebay specail icp with a knock off hks bov, and i have a fmu

fmu will work but it's not the best way.....something such as uberdata, crome, neptune etc all of those aren't too costly and will give you a nice tune good power and good gas milage

I just finished tuning my d16y8 tonite. At 10psi on a t3/t4 50trim .48a/r, 2.5" open downpipe, I made 255.12whp and 215.44lb-ft of torque. All stock internals except for arp headstuds.

Tune it well at it should be fine.

Your friends sound like they have never run boost/and are idiots.
